Wildly True · Updated 11 September 2026
Wildly True is a story prediction game available on the web and Android. There are currently no user accounts or cloud-synchronised progress.
Saved progress on your device
The app stores your current story, answers, completed-story count, reading interactions and a local event history in browser or app storage. It also stores randomly generated anonymous participant, session and run identifiers, and a recruitment cohort label when supplied. Older saves may contain a “liked” flag from a removed control; these saves remain readable.
Product analytics
When enabled in a build, we use PostHog to understand story completion, answers, return visits and whether people continue after an ad. Explicit events include story positions, answer choices, correctness, time to answer, navigation, ad shown/dismissed/unavailable/failed and anonymous identifiers. This helps us assess and improve the product.
The app disables automatic click capture, automatic page views, session recording, heatmaps, surveys, person profiles, feature flags, and automatic error and performance capture. PostHog SDK persistence is limited to memory. Outgoing analytics properties are filtered to the app’s explicit fields; automatic page URL, browser and device enrichment is removed. Events request that IP-based geolocation be disabled. Network services still receive connection information needed to handle requests; these controls do not make network traffic unidentifiable.
We do not send advertising identifiers, consent choices or consent strings, ad creative details, advertiser information or raw advertising SDK errors to PostHog. See PostHog’s privacy policy.
Android advertising and privacy choices
The Android app integrates Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads and Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP). When advertising is configured, UMP supplies consent information and, where required and available, a consent form. The app requests ads only when Google reports that ads may be requested. Consent lookup or form failures pause ads while the game remains playable. The web game does not call native AdMob or UMP.
Interstitial ads may appear after every fifth completed story when you press Next and another story is available. An ad appears only if it has already loaded. Advertising supports the app.
Google and its advertising technology may process device, network and advertising-related data, including IP addresses, device or advertising identifiers, ad interactions and diagnostic information, according to Google’s services and applicable consent choices. See Google’s privacy policy and how Google uses information for advertising.
When Google requires a privacy-options entry point, a “Privacy choices” action appears in the game. It opens Google’s form so you can review or change your choices. The app then refreshes consent information before requesting further ads. These choices concern advertising; they do not control the separate product analytics described above.
Retention and deletion
Local progress, identifiers and event history remain until you clear browser site data or Android app storage, uninstall the Android app, or use the app’s developer deletion controls. Clearing storage removes saved progress; there is no account from which to restore it. Browser and operating-system storage policies may also remove data.
The developer view at ?debug=1 includes “Delete analytics & replace IDs”, which clears local analytics and replaces local anonymous identifiers while keeping progress, and a separate progress reset. These controls do not delete events already delivered to PostHog or data held by Google.
Remote analytics retention and deletion are managed in the PostHog project; this policy does not specify a fixed retention period. Google manages data retention and available deletion controls under its own policies. For a privacy or deletion request, use the contact below. Because there are no accounts, locating anonymous analytics may require the participant identifier shown in the developer view. Do not send advertising identifiers or consent strings.
